GPS LOCATION IS OFF BY 50 MILES OR SO AND VEHICLE COMPASS INDICATES WRONG OR OPPOSITE HEADING.

REAR HATCH WINDOWS JUST SHATTERED FOR NO REASON

PARASITIC DRAW ON BATTERY BATTERY DIED SUDDENLY AND STAYS CHARGED ONE OR TWO DAYS FIRST TIME IT WAS SHUT OFF FOR 30 MINUTES IN PARK WAS JUMP STARTED AND OPERATING SECOND TIME SIT OVERNIGHT AND BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED FAILED TO JUMPSTART APPLIED CHARGER OVERNIGHT AND VEHICLE STARTED THIS HAS BEEN REPEATED 3 TIMES AUTOMATIC START SYSTEM HAS NOT FUNCTIONED SINCE PURCHASED 3 MONTHS AGO

THE TRACK LIGHTING (TAIL LIGHT) ON THE HATCH HAS WATER IN IT ALONG WITH CONDENSATION. I ONLY HAVE 24K MILES ON MY DURANGO.

Had to replace fuel canister and sensor. Had to redo fuel system . The evap sensor appeared while driving, engine light came on and car started driving really weird and shaking. It was freaking out did not drive right.

UCONNECT 8.4C NAV RADIO SCREEN CONTINUALLY RESETS AND OR STAYS BLANK. MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALER AND TWO SCREEN REPLACEMENTS WITH NO AVAIL. SAFETY CONCERN, VERY DISTRACTING AND NO BACK UP CAMERA USE WHEN IT GOES OUT, HAS STAYED OFF FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. NO CLIMATE CONTROL, RADIO OR CAMERA.. OCCURS PRIMARILY IN MOTION, VERY RANDOMLY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS AND SAW A PIECE OF MY CAR IN THE MIRROR. IT WAS THE PLASTIC PIECE OFF MY DOOR. I COULDN'T STOP BEING ON THE HIGHWAY LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, SAM LEMAN IN MORTON ILLINOIS WHERE I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS WITH DURANGOS, BEING BLOWED OFF. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHER VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY IF A MOTORCYCLE WAS BEHIND ME. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH LACK OF CARE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FROM DODGE AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS PULLED OVER AT NIGHT BY A POLICE OFFICER FOR NOT HAVING ANY REAR LIGHTS. THE OFFICER INFORMED ME THAT HE IS ALWAYS PULLING DODGE DURANGO'S OVER BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THE LIGHTS FILL UP WITH WATER AND THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CORRODE AND NO LONGER FUNCTION. THIS IS A 2018 THAT DID NOT PASS A PA SAFETY INSPECTION IN 2020 WITHOUT PAYING $1,888.51 TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED PARTS. THE GASKET AND SEALANT ON THIS PRODUCT BREAKS DOWN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ALLOWING RAIN WATER TO FILL UP INSIDE THE TAIL LIGHT RACETRACK ASSEMBLY THAT IS ONE PART CONTAINING THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS, BACKUP CAMERA AND REAR BACKUP LIGHTS.I CALLED FCA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE AND WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE 2014 MODELS AND DODGE IS NOT WILLING TO ELEVATE OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMER IS UNKNOWINGLY DRIVING WITHOUT LIGHTS UNTIL BEING PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE OR THE VEHICLE DOES NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION. THIS ISN'T A $100 EXPENSE THAT IS BEING IGNORED BUT A $1,900 EXPENSE. THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE ONLY 1,000 MILES OR 500,000 MILES BUT SHOULDN'T BE BREAKING DOWN IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. THIS IS NOT NEGLECT OR WRONGDOING ON THE PART OF THE CONSUMER AND IS CLEARLY A QUALITY CONTROL BREAKDOWN THAT IS BEING IGNORED. HOW CAN WE REQUEST THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS DEFECT TO GUARANTEE THAT THE VENDORS AND MANUFACTURERS OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS AND NOT THE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE THE VICTIMS DURING THIS PANDEMIC WHEN I AM OUT OF WORK AND DON'T HAVE $2,000 JUST SITTING AROUND AND I'M STRUGGLING TO PAY THE BILLS AND PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR MY FAMILY?

69000 MILES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CODES P0440 WAS THROWN 2X. I ALREADY REPLACED PURGE VALVE AT MY OWN COST. I ALSO INFORMED DODGE. THEY WON'T FIX IT UNLESS I PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS. WHICH I ALREADY HAD ONE DONE. ALSO HEADLIGHT BULB DROPPED AT 38K MILES AND I INFORMED DODGE AND MECHANIC. SHE SAID I DIDN'T HAVE THE WARRANTY ON IT AND THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE UNLESS I PAID FULL COST

JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN AUGUST. I DIDN'T NOTICE THE ENTIRE REAR RED LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING UNTIL I GOT PULLED OVER. I'M GUESSING THEY DIDN'T WORK AT ALL AND I JUST DIDN'T NOTICE IT.

I WAS IN A COLLISION, GOING 70*MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. GUY IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF HIM. I HAD NO TIME TO STOP, SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF HIS CAR. NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS SMASHED IN.

While driving on the highway, the computer system shut down and all screens went black. The car still drove but none of the controls worked anymore. We could not roll the windows down or turn the fans or a/c on and it was summer so the interior of the car immediately became unbearably hot. We pulled over as soon as it was safe to do so and turned the car off and back on. The system came on partially and we were only able to open the sunroof and roll the rear windows down half way before it stopped working again. We tried cycling the car on and off several more times but the computer system and all controls remained unresponsive and the screens black. The door locks did not work either so we couldn’t secure the vehicle. It was Sunday so no dodge dealerships were open. We were on a family vacation and half way to our destination so we drove an additional 3-4 hours to reach our destination. I took the Durango to the dealership the following day and they kept it for a week. They disconnected and reconnected the battery cable and the system worked again and they could not replicate the problem. We drove home after that without issue. Two weeks later, the same thing happened. This time, I pulled over and disconnected and reconnected the battery cables and that seemed to solve the issue again. We took it back to our local dealership and they could not replicate the issue.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO ME AND HAS RECENTLY BECOME A DAILY STRUGGLE. I SEEM TO BELIEVE THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BEHIND THE DASH MAY HAVE A SHORTAGE OF SOME SORT. I CAN BE STATIONED AT A LIGHT OR MOVING AND MY SCREEN DISPLAYING THE ODOMETER WILL COMPLETELY TURN WHITE. SOME TIMES IT SLOWLY FADES AWAY AND OTHER TIMES JUST COMPLETELY GOES WHITE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M IN MOTION AND I LITERALLY HAVE NO WAY TO MONITOR MY SPEED, OTHER THAN RELY ON MY RPM'S. TODAY, 6/22/2020, I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE DASH WAS DISPLAYING FINE. I COME TO A STOP TO TURN AND MY DISPLAY BEGINS TO FADE. I AM NOT GOING FASTER THAN 34 MPH. EVENTUALLY, THE DISPLAY TURNS COMPLETELY WHITE AND MY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO REBOOTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 10K MILES ON IT. NOW I WONDER WHY IT WAS TRADED IN SO EARLY. *TR

THE DISPLAY SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY OFF AS IF I WAS JUST TURNING ON THE CAR. YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE DISPLAY SCREEN EXCEPT FOR DODGE AND ALSO THE VOLUME BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I USED HAVE TO TURN OF THE VEHICLE AND TURN BACK ON . SOMETIMES IT WORKS WITHIN THE FIRST TRY OTHER TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS SEVERE RADIO ISSUES TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS DISTRACTING TO DRIVE. IT STARTED WITH WEATHER ALERTS FROM COUNTIES OVER 100 MILES AWAY. NOW IT CONSTANTLY SWITCHED BETWEEN THE TIME SETTINGS, RADIO, AND AC WHICH IS A HUGE DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING. IF I ATTEMPT TO SHUT OFF THE AC SETTINGS WILL MOVE UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

My touchscreen is malfunctioning. It does what it wants when it wants. Example- it makes my headrest flip up and down Turns the radio stations Turns the heat/air on/off Turns the heated/cooling seats on/off Backup camera doesn’t work half the time I backed into a dirt embankment and cracked my rear bumper because the backup camera wasn’t working at that time Navigation doesn’t work half the time Volume works when it wants Can’t change radio stations sometimes

I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLED ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, DRIVE LIGHT ON THE DRIVE STICK WAS BLINKING EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALREADY ON DRIVE. TRIED TO SHIFT IT TO PARK AND DRIVE AGAIN BUT THE DRIVE STICK IS LOCKED AND THE BREAK PADS WERE ALSO LOCKED IN PLACE. TURNED OFF THE AUTO START/STOP AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON WITH THE KEY FOB AND THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. GOOD THING IT WAS A RED LIGHT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN AGAIN ESPECIALLY IF I'M DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY. *TR

THE TRAVEL LINK WEATHER ALERTS ARE A DANGEROUS AND INCREDIBLY ANNOYING FEATURE. IT FORCES YOU TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD AND TEND TO IT OR IT WON'T UNBLOCK YOUR SCREEN. I DONT CARE IF IT'S WINDY 3 COUNTIES OVER. I DONT WANT MY NAVIGATION SCREEN BLOCKED WHILE I'M TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE RINGER GETTING THE SXM TRIAL DEACTIVATED BUT THE WEATHER ALERTS HAVE NOT STOPPED. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND DONE MY FAIR SHARE OF RESEARCH JUST TO FIND OUT THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THEM. SIRIUS IS NO HELP AT ALL.

REAR 'RACETRACK' LIGHTING AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHTING SHORTS OUT AND DOES NOT FUNCTION. THIS IS CAUSED BY WATER LEAKING INTO AND BEING RETAINED IN THE ASSEMBLY. THIS ISSUE IS THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED IN A VARIETY OF ONLINE FORUMS. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IS VERY DARK AND POSSES A SAFETY ISSUE BY INCREASING THE CHANCES OF A REAR END COLLISION.

OUR DODGE DURANGO GT, HAS DEVELOPED A LOUD POP SOUND WHEN COMING TO A FULL STOP. I TOOK IT TO ANCIRA DODGE IN SAN ANTONIO, THEY ADVISED ME THE CALIPERS ARE HITTING BRAKE PADS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DODGE AGAIN DOES NOT WANT TO HELP. OUR TRUCK HAS BARELY 21,787 MILES AND I'M HAVING SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.

NOVEMBER 30, 2019, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WAS 34 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND WE HAD THE DEFROST AND HEAT ON LOW SETTING {1}. THEN A SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT, THEN COLD AIR COMING FROM THE ROOF AND COULD HEAR GLASS BOUNCING AROUND. WE PULLED OVER. SAW WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW. NO ONE WAS EVEN AROUND US WHEN IT HAPPENED SO NOTHING HIT IT. THEN LOOKING CLOSER, COULD SEE THAT THE GLASS WAS RAISED A BIT AND THE SEALS SURROUNDING IT WERE LIFTED IN A FEW PLACES. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD.

OUR 2018 DODGE DURANGO GT, HAS ELECTRICAL ONGOING ISSUES. THE PADDLE SHIFTERS ON STEERING WHEEL ARE CONTROLLED THROUGH RADIO SETTINGS. EVERY TIME I TURN PADDLE SHIFTERS OFF, THEY JUST RESET AND TURN BACK ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE COMING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION I NEED TO PULL SAFELY INTO ROAD AND THE TRUCK HAS THE PADDLE SHIFTERS ENGAGED MAKING IT DANGEROUS. I THEN HAVE TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE THEM THROUGH STEERING WHEEL SO THAT TRUCK CAN DROVE AGAIN NORMAL. DODGE ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT. HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS, PLEASE HELP.

2018 DODGE DURANGO LAMP LIFTGATE FILLS WITH WATER AND CAUSE THE LIGHT TO FAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF NEUTRAL, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V280000(POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. HELFMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (7720 KATY FWY, SUITE A, HOUSTON, TX 77024, (713) 533-6100) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO HAVE THE VEHICLE ADDED TO THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,080.

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, DOESN'T START. IF IT SIT FOR A BIT, IT WILL START WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. LIGHT TURNS OFF AFTER A WHILE UNTIL IT STALLS AGAIN

THERE IS A RUBBING/GRINDING SOUND FROM THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE GOING 55+MPH. THE HEATING & COOLING IS SHUTTING OFF AND NOT TURNING BACK ON. RADIO SCREEN IS HOT TO THE TOUCH

MY VEHICLES ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN SHUTS DOWN TO THE DISPLAY SHOWING DODGE. IT WILL STAY THERE UNTIL IT DECIDES TO RESTART. THE ONLY TWO ITEMS WORKING ARE VEHICLE TEMPERATURES, AIR FLOW SPEED AND SHUT OFF OR TURN ON. NOTHING ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO SELECT OR OPERATE WITH IN THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. THIS INCLUDES THE LOST OF UCONNECT IF I WAS DISPLAYING MAPS FOR NAVIGATION. I HAVE NOTICED A STRANGE ODOR LIKE A BATTERY OR WIRES OVER HEAT SMELL AS I'M DRIVING AS THIS OCCURS. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY LEAVING ME WITHOUT THE COMFORTS WE EXPECT AND PAID FOR, NOT TO MENTION THE CONCERN OF IS THERE A MAJOR ISSUE GOING ON? THERE ARE MANY FORMS ON LINE STATING THIS HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING ISSUE SINCE 2016 POINTING THE BLAME BETWEEN THE FCA AND THE UCONNECT PUSHING UPDATES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DODGE FIX THEIR PRODUCT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, MOVING, ON A CITY STREET, OUT ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. DEALER STATES THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I ASKED THEM TO RESEARCH IT. THEY STATE BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. DODGE STOP GIVING THE CONSUMER A RUN AROUND AND FIX IT. I ASSUME THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE ENGINEERS THIS COULD BE A HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE

THIS LETTER IS A WRITTEN NOTICE TO DODGE/CHRYSLER CORPORATION THAT I AM TIRED OF THE WAY THEY ARE TREATING ME. I PURCHASED A 2018 DODGE DEALER GT, WITH ONLY 2,800 MILES. IT WAS A DEALER DEMO AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. STARTING FROM INSIDE OF INTERIOR FALLING APART, WHICH WAS FIXED BY DEALER. HOWEVER, AT 8,000 MILES OR SO THE ENGINE STARTED DEVELOPING AN INTERMITTENT RATTLE, THAT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. I HAVE TRIED COMMUNICATING WITH DODGE WITH VERY LITTLE HELP. RIGHT NOW I HAVE AN OPEN CASE WITH DODGE BUT SO FAR MY CASE MANAGER HAS NOT BEEN ANY HELP. MY ENGINE IS GETTING DAMAGED, AND LAST TIME I TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER FOR SERVICE THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT OPEN ENGINE TO LOOK INTO ENGINE WITHOUT ENGINE LIGHT. DODGE IS TREATING ME BAD. THE TRUCK EVEN TURNED OF WHILE DRIVING BUT THAT WAS ONLY ONCE, WHO KNOWS OF LATER IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I FEEL THIS TRUCK IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE IS SIMPLY JUST IGNORING.

THE VEHICLE'S TRAVEL LINK SYSTEM GIVES WEATHER WARNINGS THAT POP UP ON THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SCREEN, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE CURRENT WEATHER WARNINGS ARE FROM COUNTIES THAT ARE 100'S OF MILES FROM MY AREA, AND EVEN IN ANOTHER STATE. ONCE THESE POP UPS OCCUR, YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO ENSURE THEY ARE NOT OF IMPORTANCE FOR YOUR AREA. I WAS TOLD BY SIRIUS XM THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISABLE THIS FEATURE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE OF THE POP UPS BEING FOR A STORM THAT OCCURRED LAST WEEK, AND THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO ACTIVE WEATHER WARNINGS.

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 17,500 MILES ON IT AND THE BRAKES ARE CONSTANTLY SQUEAKING. I'VE CLEANED THE ROTORS, BUT IT STILL MAKES THIS GOD AWFUL SQUEAK. THE BRAKES SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ANOTHER 25,000 MILES, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT.

I WAS IN A DRIVE THRU RESTAURANT AND ONCE I FINISHED MY ORDERED I WAS GOING TO PULL FORWARD, BUT WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. SO I LOOKED DOWN AT MY GEARSHIFT AND IT WAS BLINKY ON DRIVE MODE, THEN I PUT MY CAR ON PARK TURNED IT OFF MY CAR THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. AND ALSO MY CHECK LIGHT ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL WHEN THAT INCIDENT HAPPENED.

AT 20,00 MI THE SHOCKS STARTING KNOCKING AND DEALER SAID NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 50,000 MI THEY ARE COMPLETTLY SHOT NO SHOCK ACTION AT ALL AND DEALER SAYS $500.00 PER SHOCK AND $150.00 LABOR PER SHOCK

THE VEHICLE AFTER BEING STARTED AND DRIVEN WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY TURN OFF BUT THE CAR REMAINS IN ACCESSORY MODE UNTIL COMPLETELY DRAINING THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE THEN HAS TO HAVE THE BATTERY POWERED UP SEPARATELY AND RESTARTED.

WITH THIS INCIDENT MY DODGE DURANGO SRT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY THE 19TH AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN SEEN NOR DIAGNOSED. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN CALLING ALL DAY WITH NO ANSWER THEN WAS TOLD IT WAS IN THE SHOP BUT NOW THEY ARE TELLING US THAT IS HASN'T BEEN IN THE SHOP AND IT MIGHT BE TOMORROW WHICH IS TUESDAY. EVERY TIME I DEAL WITH THEM IT'S A PROBLEM

I GOT THE CAR WITH 100 MILES ON IT AND THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUE.... KROGER'S AND MANY OTHER GAS STATION PUMPS KICK OFF WHILE FUELING. I HAVE TRIED PULLING THE NOZZLE OUT SOME, SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER LESS, ETC & THEY STILL KICK THE PUMP OFF. IT LITERALLY TAKES 10 MINS TO PUMP $20 WORTH OF GAS. ALSO, I HAVE A SLIGHT DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOP SIGN, ETC. ITS LIKE A SECOND DELAY THEN ITS LIKE IT DECIDES TO GO AHEAD & GO. RADIO/CONTROL SCREEN HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED DUE TO IT GOING TO A FULL BLACK SCREEN & FULL BLUE SCREEN, SHUTTING OFF, ETC. HOWEVER, EVEN THE NEW RADIO STILL LOSES THE PROGRAMMED STATION SETTINGS.

WHEN COMING TO A SLOW STOP IN A DRIVEWAY AND SHIFTING CAR INTO PARK CAR WILL NOT STAY IN PARK AND SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE.

"BREMBO BREAK PADS" I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2018, I WAS QUOTED FOR NEW BRAKE PADS ALL AROUND AT 9000 MILES IN JUNE OF 2019. AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD THAT I ONLY NEED REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED NOW. (NOTE: THERE IS LESS THEN 1MM ON REAR PADS CURRENTLY AND 4MM ON THE FRONT PADS) , I TOLD THE MANAGER AT RYDELL THAT, I BELIEVE THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE NEVER HERD OF REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THIS SOON. I CALLED THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY FIND IT WEIRD THAT I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BRAKES ALREADY WITH ONLY 9000 MILES ON THE CAR. MIND YOU, I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN I PURCHASED IT, IT HAD 300 MILES ON THE CAR ALREADY. THE MANAGER, RICK GUZMAN AT RYDELL IN SAN FERNANDO EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO ACCUSE ME OF RACING MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, SHOULDN'T BALDING TIRES COINCIDE WITH THAT ACCUSATION? EVERYTHING ON MY VEHICLE IS THE SAME AS IT WAS WHEN I DROVE OF THEIR LOT IN OCTOBER OF 2018. THERE IS NO WAY, AFTER PUTTING 8,700 MILES ON MY OWN, THAT I SHOULD NEED TO CHANGE ALL FOUR BRAKE PADS ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. AND THE DEALER IS NOW FIGHTING ME TO ONLY CHANGE THE BRAKES IN THE REAR. I BELIEVE ALL FOUR PADS SHOULD BE CHANGED OUT. WITH THE REAR PADS AT 1MM AND THE FRONT PADS AT 4MM, SOMETHING SOUNDS REALLY WRONG. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD YET !

I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM STG AUTO GROUP IN GARDEN GROVE AND NOTICED A WEEK LATER WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, THAT THERE WAS A LARGE SLASH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE ON THE WHEEL WALL WITH AN ORANGE PAINTED CIRCLE AROUND IT. I WAS TOLD BY A PROFESSIONAL THAT THE DEALERSHIP NOTICED IT, AND CIRCLED THE SLASH BECAUSE WAS MEANT FOR IT TO TO BE CHANGED TO PASS THE SAFETY INSPECTION TO BE SOLD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID NOT REPLACE THE TIRE BEFORE SELLING AND NOW IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE TIRE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND HEARD A LOUD BOOM. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT FLEW INTO MY CAR OR IMPACTED IT IN ANYWAY. I WAS UNSURE OF WHAT IT WAS AND CONTINUE DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED AT THE HOUSE I LOOKED AROUND THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE SO I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING, I WENT TO OPEN MY SUNROOF AND SAW THAT IT HAD SHATTERED. I INSPECTED THE GLASS AND COULD NOT SEE ANY IMPACT. I DID HAVE WINDOW TENT ON MY GLASS, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. THAT MEANS THAT THERE WAS NO GLASS THAT FLEW INTO MY CAR

I WENT THROUGH CHEETAH CAR WASH WITH MY 2018 DODGE DURANGO AND UPON EXITING THE CAR WASH AND RECEIVING GREEN SIGNAL TO DRIVE I SHIFTED FROM "N" TO "D" AND STARTED SLOWLY DRIVING TOWARD THE VACUUM CLEANING AREA. AS I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT THE POST AND BUILDING, CAUSING IT TO STOP. I CALLED THE POLICE TO THE SCENE AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BASHAM TOWING SERVICE IN BOWLING GREEN, KY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE FOR MECHANICAL FAILURE, BECAUSE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON INTERSTATE, THIS COULD HAVE ENDED WAY WORSE. I FOUND INFORMATION ONLINE THAT DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN HAVING A NUMBER OF SIMILAR ISSUES. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/CAR-ACCELERATES-ON-ITS-OWN-PROBLEMS.PHP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY TURN AND WOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK DODGE (81 MACKENAN DR, CARY, NC) WHERE THE STEERING WAS RECALIBRATED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE VOLTAGE METER CONTINUOUSLY FLUCTUATED. THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND BATTERY TERMINALS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I PLACED A SERVICE REQUEST TO GET IT CHECKED OUT ON 03/29/19. LANDMARK DODGE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT A SPECIAL PART NEEDED TO BE ORDERED. WHEN THE SPECIAL PART WAS DELIVERED, I THEN HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER SERVICE APPOINTMENT TO GET THE PART CHANGED/FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY THE NEXT AVAILABILITY WASN'T TILL 05/23/19. I CAME IN ON THIS DATE TO GET MY VEHICLE SERVICE. AFTER INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER PART HAD TO BE ORDERED TO FIX THE AIR BAG WARNING. I WAS TOLD THAT I'D BE CONTACTED ONCE THAT PART CAME IN. IT'S 07/02/19 AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE DEALERSHIP. ANOTHER ISSUE I FOUND LATER, WHILE DRIVING WAS THAT MY HORN DOES NOT WORK. IT IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE VEHICLE WITHOUT HORN, AND WITHOUT MY AIRBAG SYSTEM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, OPENED THE DOOR, OR DROVE IN REVERSE, THE PARKING AND DRIVING ASSISTANCE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF BAY RIDGE (8635 18TH AVE, BROOKLYN, NY 11214, (888) 578-2533) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVING ASSISTANCE AND PARKING SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,667.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAULT AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE DEALER (DEACON'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 835 SOM CENTER RD, MAYFIELD, OH 44143, (440) 442-0424) WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE DURING THE INITIAL VISIT. DURING THE SECOND VISIT TO THE SAME DEALER, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT PLANNED ON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DURANGO R/T HEMI AWD TOWING PACKAGE. NOTICED RATTLE,CLUNKING ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE, AS WELL AS INCREASED BODY ROLL AND REAR END SWAY/ROAD WALK ON ROAD PATCHES, ROAD SURFACE TO BRIDGE TRANSITIONS, ETC. LEADING TO A STEERING CORRECTION ON STEERING WHEEL. VERY NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MADE APPT. FOR DEALER INSPECTION/REPAIR. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS BAD REAR STRUT, ORDERED NEW STRUTS FOR BOTH REAR SIDES AND SENT ME HOME. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST 4 WEEKS NOW, DEALER JUST TELLS ME "138+ STRUTS ARE ON BACK ORDER, NO ETA FOR THE PARTS. OPENED AN INCIDENT WITH FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE OVER A WEEK AGO, ALL THEY ARE DOING IS SENDING ME A DAILY EMAIL OR VMAIL SAYING THEY ARE WORKING ON GETTING ME THE PART, NO ETA. MEANWHILE THE RIDE CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE.

WHILE DRIVE MY 2018 DODGE DURANGO ON THE FWY AROUND 65+ THE ENGINE JUST TURN OFF. WITH KIDS IN THE CAR WE WERE STUCK IN THE SLOW LANE OF THE FWY UNABLE TO MOVE THE CAR. I TRIED RESTARTING IT WITH NO LUCK. THE CAR STILL HAD POWER(LIGHTS WERE ON). THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO NEUTRAL .. THE CAR HAD TO BE PULLED OFF THE ROAD BY A TOW TRUCK. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR( CAR WAS TOWED) WHEN WE GOT IT HOME WE TRIED AGAIN TO START THE CAR IT STARTED! NO CHECK LIGHT CAME ON DURING ANYTIME. A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE.

THE REAR TAIL-LIGHT SYSTEM (COVERS ENTIRE REAR OF CAR) ON MY DODGE DURANGO STARTED TO LEAK DUE TO AN INADEQUATE SEAL AND THE TAILLIGHT SYSTEM BURNED OUT IN VARIOUS SPOTS. ONCE OUT IT BECOMES MUCH HARDER TO SEE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND CREATES A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. DODGE WILL NOT COVER THIS AND WANTS JUST UNDER $1,000 TO REPLACE IT. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO AS THE DECREASED TAIL LIGHT CAN BE HARD TO SEE ESPECIALLY IN THE SNOWY CLIMATE WE HAVE HERE IN WISCONSIN.

MOST PUMPS DO NOT WORK ONLY COSTCO CANNOT FILL THE TANK WITH MORE THAN $1 - $2 WORTH OF GAS WITHOUT THE PUMP CLICKING OFF. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL GAS STATIONS AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM EVERYWHERE. I HAVE TO HOLD THE NOZZLE ALMOST UPSIDE DOWN IN ORDER TO PUMP GAS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 2 MONTHS AND I AM READY TO GET RID OF IT SOLELY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.
